I am boycotting threads about the plight of the McCann family - anyone else?

I have the utmost sympathy for the Mccann family, and hope for a happy ending to thier trouble. Meanwhile I am not happy about many aspects of teh many threads, and hearby resolve to completely boycott them. By not clicking, not reading, nor responding (however horrible the views), and thus not adding to the circular and predicatable route they take, no matter what quality of ontervention is made.

Clasp your right hand over your left Nork and repeat the boycott pledge after me!

EnidTheInvisible · 21/05/2007 13:37

[Enid feels oddly cross that she has been so vindicated on other thread and now cannot even bloody post on it]

Trinityrhino · 21/05/2007 13:38

Enid gets a special Nork-Claspers medal - Order of the MN Nork-Claspers. Dino gets one too. Your reward comes in other ways, and with dignity. Arise Dame Enid ONC.

agree with the boycotting idea - there are several people on other threads who are simply revelling in the drama and loving every minute.

what is all that fuss over dino? have been away a few days.

Kerrymum and others - we are not proliferating discussion, and gathering a mass of posters who will not add to those threads. that's all.
